If he didn’t play for United he’d be a nobody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep he is one that would do nothing for months then pop up with a goal and the media be praising him again, the West Ham loan seems to be the only real consistent bit of Premier League form he has shown in about 8 seasons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s never going to return that form consistently. That purple patch ended long before the end of the season but people only remember that good run of games.

maqroll Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) It helped Lingard that he had really good players feeding him the ball at West Ham. Will be much trickier to get goals with Forest. Edited July 21, 2022 by maqroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 They will be giving him a normal wage but a big sign on fee. The overall package will be big but his weekly wage will be more reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Same as before, its massively telling that even now West Ham didn't sign him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 He'll do OK to well for them. The 10 in their formation is crucial and Lingard is a better bet than Zinckernagel. He always finds space well really well the little berk. West Ham obviously very upset he's snubbed them and wanted to get £200k a week line out to whoever they could. It could have done the damage they wanted as well, even if strictly he's only on £80k. If Lingard is on £200k a week so is Bouba Kamara. Players moving on free deals is going to become increasingly common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 Out of the three clubs forest have the best chance of staying up i think. The lingard signing is not a disaster at all. One year contract, if they go down they release him and dont have to oay his massive wages in championship. I think thats a smart move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the insane difference in his wages and the majority of the squad. You can excuse that for a real quality player. But it's Jesse Lingard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Yeah I am not convinced they will get near 25 points still, McKenna will be this seasons Grant Hanley saw him get destroyed by Kazakhstan once when we were linked to him and COlback was still playing last season Awoniyi isnt going to hit the ground running, he struggled initially in Germany before finally adapting and the other signings arent very inspriing. O'Brien might be the pick of the bunch We had about 7 players on promotion but Grealish and McGinn are better than what Forest came up with, Conor of that season would probably get into the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I've just realised why he does that stupid hand thing: JL. He's 28 going on 15. If my son behaved like him I'd make him go the Sty for a Tuesday night game as punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colback won't play either, I think he came in when Max Lowe got injured and essentially covered left wing-back. Again, they've sided players in that position now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see anything other than a comfortable relegation More points than any other team since Cooper came in and strengthened in basically every area aside from arguably right back, where Spence was great for them. I think Henderson on loan is a great signing (comfortably a top half/top 6 level keeper), Williams had a great half-season at Fulham, Niakhate got rave reviews last season as Mainz achieved their best ever Bundesliga finish, Awoniyi was of the top Bundesliga goal scorers and, even though he's a dickhead, Lingard on his day is a very good player. Big shame losing Richards to a leg break (apparently) as he'd be an exciting wing-back too. They'll be bringing in more players too. The problem they face is whether or not they can gel so many in, so quickly. But other than that, they look like an exciting prospect to me rather than a team nailed on to finish bottom.

Awoniyi struggled though when Kruse left in mid season and his form dropped and Lingard isnt as good as Kruse to support him, maybe Johnson is in the future Mainz had a good season but wasnt the highest finish ever either, they have finished top 6 a few seasons back.Niakhate will need to hit the ground running too Edited July 22, 2022 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
